 Hello!

 I have the problem that, when I go online as invisible in ICQ, the others
 who log in after myself see me as invisible (I am visible appearing with
 status "invisible").

 I have to go online normally and then set my status to invisible, not till
 then others really can't see me. Then I appear as offline (what is fine).

 I do not know, if people who log in after myself, after I'm really
 invisible (when i went online and then invisible again), can see me again,
 so that would mean invisible only applies to people which are online at
 the moment.

 And I also don't know if I'm invisible for people who are already online
 at the moment when I log in invisible.

 It would be great, if you could have a look at this, so that invisible
 status with ICQ useable eventually. The current state is very
 unsatisfactory.

 Windows XP Pro SP3 RC2[[BR]]
 Pidgin 2.3.1 + enclosed GTK+

 I do not know, if this applies to Pidgin 2.4.0 too (but I assume so,
 because this is an existing problem, since I know Pidgin/Gaim - 1.5.0),
 because I have deactivated my ICQ account at the moment as a result of the
 encoding problems... :\

 Thanks,[[BR]]
 Hannes
